At Le(jst Qncc A Month The tight feed situation and the need for efficiency in production demands that every cull hen be taken out of the laying flock. It is recommended that ju!try producers follow a systematic method i of culling at least once a month in order to remove unprofitable hens from the flock. This will have a two-fold beneficial effect. It will provide for a continuous order'.v marketing of live poultry, and it will help To conserve the feed for heiis which are giving good egg production. Experimental records shaw that it requires the tj.-ok". ; of two laying hens to pay the feed bill of one non-laying hen. At this rate, it does not require very many non-layers until the entire . profits are gone. In order to ease the poultry and meat situation, the Department of A iJrufill iirff. lt:. n nt .1 1 ncd ; orice support program, and on March 8 i arrival of an eight-pound boy born th department began its purchase J March lf at the St. Francis Hos-program for dressed chickens from j pi'al at Washington.

On-thc-Job Training For Veterans One of the most popular benefits provided veterans of World War II is on-the-job training, wherebv an ex-serviceman may learn a trade or profession with ' government aid. To obtain on-the-job training, a veteran should decide, either through his own initiative or by vocational counseling, what field he wishes to enter, and then locate a firm in that field which has been approved by the State approving agency. It is necessary that the place of training be approved before the veteran can receive a monthly subsistence allowance frm the government. It is also necessary that the firm have a "course outline" in written form, which the veteran must follow while in training. If the firm has not been approved, immediate application for approval should be made by the firm to the appropriate State agency. As soon as this approval is obtained and Ihe Veterans Administration is notified by the approving agency, the employer completes the veteran's certificate of eligibility and the accompanying certificate and sends the forms to the nearest VA regional office. The veteran may then begin his training VA training officers will make periodic visits to the em- . . . - lilj.t.A,' ml-il.Il.l..nni.l 1 . . ....... ..II " -"" ' "'-- IMissible assistance to the vet dm ing his training period. If he is new to the trade, the veteran will start at beginner's wages. The employer tells Ihe VA what he is paying the veteran, and what he would pay a qualified man for the same work. The VA pays the difference, up to $H5 for a single veteran or $90 for one who is married. Thus the veteran's wages and the added government allowance provide him with a livable income while in training. length of the veteran's period of eligibility for training is measured by the length of his service in the army or navy. If he served at least 90 clays, and was discharged under conditions other than dishonorable, he is entitled to a year's training. In addition, he may get a day's training for every flay he spent tm active fluty, so that a veteran of 2' years active service would be eligible for 3'2 years training. However, no training course may last longer than four years, and in no case longer than is actually necessary for the vet to complete the course for which he is enrolled.

At Le(jst Qncc A Month The tight feed situation and the need for efficiency in production demands that every cull hen be taken out of the laying flock. It is recommended that ju!try producers follow a systematic method i of culling at least once a month in order to remove unprofitable hens from the flock. This will have a two-fold beneficial effect. It will provide for a continuous order'.v marketing of live poultry, and it will help To conserve the feed for heiis which are giving good egg production. Experimental records shaw that it requires the tj.-ok". ; of two laying hens to pay the feed bill of one non-laying hen. At this rate, it does not require very many non-layers until the entire . profits are gone. In order to ease the poultry and meat situation, the Department of A iJrufill iirff. lt:. n nt .1 1 ncd ; orice support program, and on March 8 i arrival of an eight-pound boy born th department began its purchase J March lf at the St. Francis Hos-program for dressed chickens from j pi'al at Washington.

On-thc-Job Training For Veterans One of the most popular benefits provided veterans of World War II is on-the-job training, wherebv an ex-serviceman may learn a trade or profession with ' government aid. To obtain on-the-job training, a veteran should decide, either through his own initiative or by vocational counseling, what field he wishes to enter, and then locate a firm in that field which has been approved by the State approving agency. It is necessary that the place of training be approved before the veteran can receive a monthly subsistence allowance frm the government. It is also necessary that the firm have a "course outline" in written form, which the veteran must follow while in training. If the firm has not been approved, immediate application for approval should be made by the firm to the appropriate State agency. As soon as this approval is obtained and Ihe Veterans Administration is notified by the approving agency, the employer completes the veteran's certificate of eligibility and the accompanying certificate and sends the forms to the nearest VA regional office. The veteran may then begin his training VA training officers will make periodic visits to the em- . . . - lilj.t.A,' ml-il.Il.l..nni.l 1 . . ....... ..II " -"" ' "'-- IMissible assistance to the vet dm ing his training period. If he is new to the trade, the veteran will start at beginner's wages. The employer tells Ihe VA what he is paying the veteran, and what he would pay a qualified man for the same work. The VA pays the difference, up to $H5 for a single veteran or $90 for one who is married. Thus the veteran's wages and the added government allowance provide him with a livable income while in training. length of the veteran's period of eligibility for training is measured by the length of his service in the army or navy. If he served at least 90 clays, and was discharged under conditions other than dishonorable, he is entitled to a year's training. In addition, he may get a day's training for every flay he spent tm active fluty, so that a veteran of 2' years active service would be eligible for 3'2 years training. However, no training course may last longer than four years, and in no case longer than is actually necessary for the vet to complete the course for which he is enrolled. A surprise birthday party was given at the New Central Hotel dining room for Mrs. Harry Itay-inond Tuesday. The table was decorated with a large Ixiwl of roses and carnations on each side 'A which were tall candelabra. U.H.S.
